Message Proportionality

• In the Dietary Guidelines
• Adopt a balanced eating pattern.
• Sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables,
• 3 or more ounce equivalents of whole-grain
  products per day
• 3 cup equivalents per day of fat-free or low-fat
  milk or milk products.
• In MyPyramid graphic
• Differing widths of the color bands suggest
  about how much food should be eaten from each
  group.

12
Message Moderation

• In the Dietary Guidelines
• Limit intake of saturated and trans fats, and
  choose products low in these fats.
• Make choices of meat, poultry, dry beans, and
  milk products that are lean, low-fat, or
  fat-free.
• Choose and prepare foods and beverages with
  little added sugars or calorie sweeteners.
• In MyPyramid graphic
• Food group bands narrow from
• bottom to top suggesting to eat
• nutrient-dense forms of foods.

13
Reasons for RevisingUpdating the Science

  nutrition science
• New nutrient standardsDRI (RDI in Aus)

Food Pie

• Choose foods from each of the 5 food groups
• Eat plenty of plant foods
• Eat moderate amounts of animal foods

• Choose different foods from within the 5 food
  groups each day
• Drink plenty of water

18
Very simple message Eat 2 serves of fruit and
5 serves of veggies
each day
19
How this fits with NRVs

• There are no official dietary recommendations set
  based on the new NRVs yet but initial modelling
  suggests that to meet the new RDIs / AIs each day
  we will need to eat  
• 9 serves of cereals (with the emphasis on whole
  grains)
• 6 serves of vegetables (including lots of greens)
  
• 3.5 serves of fruit
• 2 serves of dairy
• 2-3 serves of meat or meat substitute
• In addition, the of energy should come from the
  following
• 15-25 from protein ( USA suggests 10-35)
• 45-65 from carbohydrate
• 20-35 from fats with no more than 10 of this
  coming from SFA
